But the exit means there's no loan option if you're no longer with the employers. You could change that money in a rolling it over into a self directed IRA and you'd have more flexibilities, but you have to be careful with the rules for what you can use this for real estate. Cashing out isn't ideal, because you'd be paying taxes and penalties. Before that, it's worth consulting a financial advisor to make sure you're making the right call for your situation.

I'm a big believer, I think, this is a great move for Louisville. The West End really could be revitalized and get fresh investment if it were breathed upon. Good to see public and private on projects like this.

The key is finding a reputable house-moving company in your area that can handle permits, utility disconnections, and logistics. South East Texas should have a few experienced crews, so ask around locally or check reviews.

One tip: make sure to prepare the new lot properly—things like leveling the ground and checking utility hookups are essential before the move. When I went through this process, I found guides like this one super helpful for breaking down steps and understanding what to expect.

You're absolutely right! Even I usually flag these for spam. It's a great disservice to the businesses. But then again, it might depend on the type of business. However, I see how one may struggle to change the email, since it may have important information stored or they've reached full capacity for making new emails. I would suggest buying gmail accounts from DigitalStoreNet in such cases.

A mortgage broker should be more helpful. They know what's what. If anyone needs one, here's a list of the best ones in Florida.

Post: Best place to put money for saving for a house?

I totally get where you’re coming from! When I was saving for my first house, I kept my funds in a high-yield savings account, and it worked out well because I wanted something safe and accessible. I also looked into short-term bond funds, but I preferred the simplicity of the savings account. It really helped to keep that money separate from my other investments so I could see my progress toward the down payment.

I believe increasing zoning for multifamily housing would make the biggest impact. It opens up more affordable options quickly and helps create diverse neighborhoods. Also, streamlining the permitting process could speed things up even more.

I was in a similar boat with credit card debt a while back, and consolidating it into a lower-interest loan really helped me out. It made my payments way more manageable, and I ended up saving a good chunk on interest. Just be sure to read the fine print and watch out for any fees. And if you can, try to avoid racking up more debt on your cards while you’re paying off the loan—it takes some discipline, but it's definitely worth it in the long run!

Post: Making Sense of San Diego Real Estate (Renting and Investing vs Buying)

It sounds like you've really thought this through! Moving from Denver to San Diego is a big change, and I get your hesitation about those high mortgage payments. Renting could definitely give you more flexibility, especially since you want to keep your cash flow open for investments. I went through something similar when I moved for work; I rented for a bit while figuring out the market and ended up investing in a rental property that really paid off. Keeping your options open while you settle in can help you avoid the stress of a hefty mortgage, and you'll still have the chance to build wealth in other ways. Plus, with kids and schools in mind, renting can give you time to find the right neighborhood without rushing into a big purchase.
